An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years.
Upon her return, her father cussed her. "Where have ye been all
this time?
Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn't ye call?
Can ye not understand what ye put yer old mum thru?
The girl, crying, replied, "Sniff, sniff....dad....I became a
prostitute...."
"Ye what!!? Out of here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a
disgrace to this family."
"OK, dad-- as ye wish. I just came back to give mum this luxurious
fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion plus a $5 million
savings certificate. For me little brother, this gold Rolex and for
ye daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible
that's parked outside plus a membership to the country
club....(takes a breath)....and an invitation for ye all to spend
New Years Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera and ... ."
"Now what was it ye said ye had become?" says dad.
Girl, crying again, "Sniff, sniff....a prostitute dad! Sniff,
sniff."
"Oh! Be Jesus! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said
a Protestant'. Come here and give yer old man a hug!"
